And thank God. That injunction was cramping our style. Last month, a Texas court known for its little-guy-leaning decisions in patent cases ruled that Microsoft had to stop selling word over its use of an XML format patented by another company, i4i. MS was also fined $290m for the violation. Lest you think Word stop getting sold, an appeals court granted a stay of the Word ban. Microsoft is doing a happy dance for now. source
